Why does word keep paginating?

Mary A. Fallon

I have a document with about 20 pages. When I go to change fonts in the title or double space parts of the document word automatically starts creating tons of pages. It gets up to like 4,000! Why does it do this? How can I make it stop?

Don't know if you got help with this, or even if this applies to you,
but I quote a reply by Beth Melton to a similar post.

"Does your document include graphics or embedded objects? If so then
that could be a cause of your problem.

I don't necessarily have a lot of specifics on this, but from what I
can gather it has to do with the paragraph the object is anchored to.

Word is attempting to keep the paragraph on the page, and since the
object is also anchored to the paragraph it's trying to keep it on the
page, so it goes to the next page, and tries the same and fails again,
so it goes into a continuous repagination loop.

It may have to do with the Keep Lines Together Property or it could be
one paragraph is spanning multiple pages and the object is looking for
a paragraph mark to anchor to, and cannot find it,because no paragraph
either begins or ends on that page."
